What is the best advice you would give a student seeking her radiology degree?

I am currently in the radiology program. It is going well so far, I really like the practice and my grades reflect that. I am curious to know of any outside resources or suggestions relating to the field in general. #radiology #science #hospital-and-health-care

Angela’s Answer

It's great to hear that you're currently in a radiology program. There are many facets of radiology specialties such as general radiology of taking X-rays, etc but you can also work with cancer patients in which you can work as a radiology technician who provides radiation for these specific patients. You can work doing CT Scans, MRI, Bone Scans, Ultrasound techs (Mammography or general ultrasounds). Google and search these different specialties and see which one would interest you after you're done with your radiology program. I hope this helps. Take care.

Vernon’s Answer

It never hurts to try to get an internship or two along the way. If your grades are good, that means you are good in physics and anatomy, or at least you should be. As a former anatomy instructor at Wright State's Medical School, I can tell you first hand that have and EXCELLENT working knowledge of anatomy will be the cornerstone of your career.

Case-Western probably has the best program in your area.

P.S. Back in the day, I used to be friends with the family of the Highland Heights mayor. That would have been in the early 60s.

David’s Answer

The best advice I would give an individual who wants to go into the medical imaging field is to study hard. I would also advise the student not to do any life-changing events while in the program. Life-changing issues include getting Married, getting a divorce, having a child, buying a house. In other words, you must have you scheduled clear an order to go to school. The program is quite demanding and you are dealing with patient lives

Rachel’s Answer

Radiology is a great field requiring a medical doctorate. This means that you will have to complete college with a bachelor’s degree as well as all of the Pre-med requirements (1 year biology, 1 year inorganic chemistry, 1 year organic chemistry + labs, physics, calculus, and biochemistry). GPA should probably be 3.5 or better (preferably >3.8). You will also have to score well on the MCAT. Once accepted to medical school, as long as you pass your classes and perform reasonably well during your four years of medical training, you can apply for a radiology 5 year residency.

Anand’s Answer

Medical imaging is a blossoming field and is in constant need to qualified radiologists. There is tremendous stability in the radiology area. My best advise to you is to remain focused and get your radiology degree. Once you have this, you can either work in a hospital or within a contract research organization.
